In full swing were amazing! It was a pleasure working with Jeff and the rest of the band. I would recommend getting the singer, she has a fantastic voice. Everyone asked where we found them so they could book them and it's easy to see why. I don't know that they would want to do it for every occassion, but they actually learned my wife's favorite song! That means writing the music and teaching it to 13 people! I can't say enough about this band, five stars!

What to Expect

You can expect us to provide a high quality musical performance tailored to your specified needs. If you want a nice mix of songs, then we will provide a blend of latin, ballroom, swing and possibly some pop/rock tunes. If you wish to have only swing music, then we can do that.
If you want mainly ballroom rhythms, then we can provide that too. If you want relaxed music, then no problem! We keep good time and play well as an ensemble. We have a high energy group of folks and a nice mix of charts. We also have many great soloists in the band.

In Full Swing is a complete 16 piece big band. We also have an optional pro vocalist that you can optionally hire to sing with the band. She has performed with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra and Cleveland Jazz Orchestra in the past.

We pride ourselves on working with clients to be sure we provide the music they would like to hear. We can MC your event for no extra charge. We can also provide music thru our sound system during our breaks. We also have a smaller combo available for more intimate settings.

We have been playing together since the summer of 2004. We have many great musicians in our band that have extensive experience in playing both jazz and big band music. We have some of the finest musicians in the central Ohio area. Some members have played(or subbed) in the bands of Harry James, Jimmy Dorsey, Columbus Jazz Orchestra, Broadway shows(that come to town) and other popular bands. We have played many private events and many public concerts since our formation. We are experienced, well organized, caring, and we have a very swinging big band! We have played at most of the bigger hotels in the central Ohio area and the majority of the festivals and concert series at one time or another. We have also played many dances and wedding receptions. You will be in good hands!

Thank you for your time and consideration.

We are sure you will be pleased with the musical product we offer. We will make your event an experience to remember!
